Abstract

A device for applying an attachment to an endoscope is disclosed. The device comprises an applicator supporting the attachment, an end of the attachment being accessible such that the endoscope is insertable into the attachment in a longitudinal direction. The attachment is removably secured to the applicator to enable the attachment to be withdrawn from the applicator together with the endoscope.
